10 Steps to prepare for your Valentine.
1. Defuzz yourself. Make sure you have any unwanted hair removed. Even if nobody will see your hairy legs you will feel more confidant knowing it is done.
2. Have a nice relaxing soak in the bath. Use an exfoliater (Try St.Tropez Body Polisher) to smooth and soften your skin.
3. Moisturise: Why not build up a little colour at the same time as moisturising? St Tropez Everyday range is fantastic, not only does it moisturise AND help firm the skin, but also gradually builds up a natural tan!
4. Nails: Make sure all your nails are the same lengths. Even if your nails are short they will look neat and tidy all the same length. Give your hands a quick and easy treat with Proto-col Instant Manicure. When you are painting your nails make sure you use a base coat before applying colour varnish. Without a base coat your nails are more likely to stain from the coloured varnish. Also applying a topcoat over the varnish will give your nails with a nice glossy look and help the varnish last longer.
5. Eyebrows: Your eyebrows can change the way you look. If you are not confident with shaping your eyebrows then why not let a professional shape them for you. There are a variety of ways to shape eyebrows from tweezing, waxing or threading.
6. Make sure you apply your make-up after drying and styling your hair, otherwise you may find you get a little hot and flushed under that drier. Try using a finishing product to give your hair a healthy shine. TIGI Bed Head Superficial Smoothing Liquid 100ml or TIGI Catwalk Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray 200ml
7. Applying your make-up: Depending on what kind of look you would like to create, I usually apply eye make-up first before applying the foundation. This is so once I have applied the eye shadow I can wipe away any excess shadow that may have fallen onto the face. For an evening make-up try using a light coloured eye shadow with shimmer to it and apply it all over the eyelid up to the brow bone. This will then accentuate your nicely shaped brows. Then add a stronger coloured shadow to your eyelid blending a darker shadow on the outer corner of your eyelid and onto the socket line.
8. Your Lashes: Hopefully your date will be gazing into your eyes during the night so make you’re your eyelashes look their best. Try using our heated eyelash curlers to gently curl your lashes. They give amazing results. For best results apply your mascara first and let it start to dry then use the
eyecurl.
9. Your Lips: More colour on your lips are in this season although you do need your lipstick to compliment your outfit. Try one of the Youngbloods Lip Glosses to get that extra glossy look!
10. Put on your perfume, jewellery and glad rags! I would advise getting dressed after you have finished your hair and make-up otherwise you might be going out with stray hairs on your back and a top speckled with make-up!
Enjoy your Valentines Day!
